Letra da Música I Shot The Sheriff Eric Clapton

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputyAll around my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of the deputy
For the life of a deputyI saidI shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense
I shot the sheriff
And they say it was a capital offenseSheriff John Brown always hated me
For what? I don't know
But every time that I plant a seed
He said: kill it before it grows
He said: kill it before it growsI saidI shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defenseFreedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see Sheriff John Brown
Aimin' to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him downI saidI shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputyReflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket falls to the well
One day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop outI saidI shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
Oh, no, oh, no
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy
Oh, no
